Very interesting you posted this today......I posted yesterday about the same exact problem on the same exact year and model. (Losing Anti-freeze?)
I took it down to my mechanic today (only one i see, only saabs) and he did initially see some coolant on the external head gasket area. Upon further review, he ended up tightening the head bolts in the head gasket area. (apparently when some were made, the robots didnt tighten these enough??) No parts, just a little over an hour of labor and some head scratching. The only way I was noticing was because about a month ago I started having to top off the coolant. I read an older post from someone saying they tightened these bolts as well......give that a shot if no one else has mentioned this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this was indeed where the leak was happenning, and I'll be keeping my eye on it.
